Alison Pill: ‘Topless tweet haunted me for months’

Actress Alison Pill is still cringing about her accidental topless tweet and she’s convinced everyone she
meets has seen the photo of her boobs.

“The Newsroom” star stunned her thousands of followers last September when she uploaded a candid snap meant for her then-fiancé Jay Baruchel to her page on the social networking site.

Pill, who is no longer engaged to funny man Baruchel, has now opened up about her naked photo shame.

She tells Conan O’Brien, “I had one of these pictures on my phone because I had been away from my, at the time, fiancé. … I’m still trying to understand what happened. It’s a fascinating story, involving not knowing that my new BlackBerry had a touch screen and responding to somebody on Twitter like, ‘Oh yeah, New York was great, it’s 9.30 on a Wednesday, also, apropos of nothing, here are my boobs!’ It’s a dumb thing to do, I suppose.”

And the 27-year-old admits the embarrassing moment haunted her for months afterward: “Anytime I met a new person I (kept thinking), ‘Boobs! Nice to meet you, you’ve seen my boobs.’”

Pill and Baruchel were planning to marry last year, but the Canadian couple called off the wedding amid reports the long-distance relationship was too difficult to manage.
